href="/wiki/Climate_change_vulnerability" title="Climate change vulnerability">vulnerable to anthropogenic climate change</a>. Due to their oceanic environment, SIDS are especially vulnerable to the marine <a href="/wiki/Effects_of_climate_change" title="Effects of climate change">effects of climate change</a> like <a href="/wiki/Sea_level_rise" title="Sea level rise">sea level rise</a>, <a href="/wiki/Ocean_acidification" title="Ocean acidification">ocean acidification</a>, <a href="/wiki/Marine_heatwave" title="Marine heatwave">marine heatwaves</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/Tropical_cyclones_and_climate_change" title="Tropical cyclones and climate change">increase in cyclone intensity</a>. Changing precipitation patterns could also cause <a href="/wiki/Drought" title="Drought">droughts</a>. Many citizens of SIDS live near a coastline, meaning that they have a high risk exposure to the effects of marine climate change. Additional climate change vulnerability comes through their economies: many SIDS have economies that are based on natural resources, such as ecotourism, fishing, or agriculture. Phenomena like sea level rise, <a href="/wiki/Coastal_erosion" title="Coastal erosion">coastal erosion</a>, and severe storms have the potential to severely impact their economies.<sup id="cite_ref-Thomas_17-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Thomas-17"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>7<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In addition to these vulnerabilities, the energy sector in SIDS faces unique challenges and opportunities, particularly in the least-electrified regions. According to the March 2024 <a href="/wiki/International_Renewable_Energy_Agency" title="International Renewable Energy Agency">IRENA</a> report, "Small Island Developing States at a Crossroads: Towards Equitable Energy Access in Least-Electrified Countries," these states, which contribute less than 1% to global <a href="/wiki/Greenhouse_gas_emissions" title="Greenhouse gas emissions">greenhouse gas emissions</a>, are exploring decentralized <a href="/wiki/Renewable_energy" title="Renewable energy">renewable energy</a> solutions to address their energy access issues.

The report highlights case studies from <a href="/wiki/Guinea-Bissau" title="Guinea-Bissau">Guinea-Bissau</a>, <a href="/wiki/Papua_New_Guinea" title="Papua New Guinea">Papua New Guinea</a>, and <a href="/wiki/Vanuatu" title="Vanuatu">Vanuatu</a>, showing significant <a href="/wiki/Socioeconomics" class="mw-redirect" title="Socioeconomics">socio-economic</a> benefits from improved energy access, including increased income opportunities for rural women and reduced indoor <a href="/wiki/Air_pollution" title="Air pollution">air pollution</a>.
